I’m on the hunt for voicey narration, juicy drama, and emotions that are so big they feel like the end of the world. I love mess! #mswl
"I'm drawn to big, messy feelings and characters screwing up over and over before succeeding."

I’d love to see more nonfiction queries🤍 I’m especially drawn to the Body, Mind & Spirit space (witchcraft, occult, tarot and oracle decks, astrology, mindfulness, etc.), lifestyle, pop culture, self-help, and cozy, whimsical books that blend worlds.

Just a mini #MSWL since spooky season is in full swing: I would LOVE to see more horror in my inbox! The weirder, the better! I especially enjoy horror that offers a conscious exploration of cultural issues or as a window to identity. Slasher for slasher's sake isn't quite for me, but otherwise HMU!
